This collection includes "Absent Treatment," "Helping Freddie," "Rallying Round Old George," "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good," "Fixing It for Freddie," and "Bertie Changes His Mind."

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who
wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of
journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than
seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best
known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant
Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and
post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after
World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole
Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his
repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in
1975.

What ho! This Goodreads review lark is a rummy thing. Here I sit, drinking buckets of tea, that indispensable tissue restorative, waiting for the old muse to come up with something, squeezing the old bean until it turns purple, and the blighted screen remains stubbornly blank. What is a frightful ch......more

Stories of rich men being nice to their fellow rich friends, or deceiving their rich families, are everywhere.
